Top quark Discovery • 11/11/1974 J/ψ and charmquark c discovery at SLAC & BNL • Two families of leptons and de quarks Leptons: e Quarks: u c e d s • 1976-1977 third fermion family is discovered : lepton & b quark • Is the b quark belonging to an isospin doublet? Quarks: u c ? d s b • 1978-1994 • measures suggest an iso-doublet • Direct Top searches are negatives • LEP electroweak fit MS M(Top) ~150-170 GeV • 1995 Top quark discovery at Tevatron D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09

Why the Top quark is so interesting ? • Large mass • The only fermion heavier than the W • Mt =MAU =35Mb • Top-Higgs Yukava coupling : t = 2 MT /v ~1 • Interact heavily with the higgs sector => Suggest that the Top quark play a specific role in the electro weak symetry breaking (EWSB). => All New Physics in connection with EWSB should couple preferentially to the Top quark : Top sector is an ideal laboratory to search for ‘New Physics’ • Short lifetime • The Top Quark decays before hadronisation • => We can study the properties of a « nude » quark (Top Mass) D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
Shopping list in the Top sector • Explore properties • Precise meass measurement => consistency test of the SM, and constraint for the Higgs boson • Search for new physics • Top is a BKG for New Physics searches, need to be understood ( X-sections) • In addition at LHC • Top is a Reference point => Re- establishment of the top • Tool for Detector commissionning D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09

Top Mass measurement strategy • Top mass estimator built from the invariant mass of the hadronic top decay products • Mjjb provides the most natural way to measure the Top mass • Close to the pole mass O(QCD) ~ 100MeV (fragmentation effects ) • needs to reconstruct the Top decay chain • Reconstruction of the hadronic top t Wb jjb • For early data: Use simple method and do not rely on MC • Find the jet pair originating from the W jj and the b jet forming the top • Wrong association => combinatorial BKG (reduced if jet b-tag used) • The invariant mass peak should be a gaussian distribution centered on the Top mass • The precision on the mass depend mainly on the accuracy to determine the Jet energy scale for light jets (JES) and b jets (JESb) D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
HadronicTop reconstruction2 b-jet case • Find first the W jets • Closest jets • Min(Mjj-MWpeak) 50% of the events have more than 2 light jets D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
HadronicTop reconstruction2 b-jet case • Find first the W jets • Closest jets • Min(Mjj-MWpeak) • Then the b jet in tWb • Closest b jet from W D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
HadronicTop reconstruction2 b-jet case • Comb bKG is made of • Wrong association chosen • One of the jet has not been selected => the right combination cant be selected (main contribution to comb BKG) (Wrong W mainly) => Purification cuts to remove the comb bkg D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
HadronicTop reconstruction2 b-jet case standard Purification cuts high Purification cuts Standard Purification cuts (eff=75%, 85% of bkg rejection) Mtop= 174.6 ±0.5 GeV =14.1±0.5 GeV High Purification cuts (eff=65%, 95% of bkg rejection) Mtop= 175.0 ±0.4 GeV =14.3±0.3 GeV D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
HadronicTop reconstruction2 b-jet case • Mtop Mjjb-Mjj+80.2 is a better estimator of the top mass • Uncetainties on the light jet energies (W jets) affect both Mjj &Mjjb • Uncertainties cancel at first order on the mass difference Mjjb-Mjj • Since MW is well known, measure only the mass difference • Impact from the light JES uncertainties is lower on the Top mass determination • The resolution on the Top mass measurement improves Mtop= 175.4 ±0.4 GeV =10.6±0.4 GeV Mtop= 175.3 ±0.3 GeV =10.6±0.2 GeV D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
Uncertainties on Top mass measurement 2 b-jet case 1fb-1 • Statistical uncertainty • Estimated for 1fb-1 using a bootstrap resampling technique • (Mtop)stat < 0.4 GeV • Systematics uncertainties • Dominant uncertainty after a few fb-1 of data • Main contribution to syst are JES & JESb • (Mtop)syst ~ 1 (3.5) GeV if JES accuracy is 1 (5)% 1fb-1 D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
Top mass measurement with 1 fb-1 • The Top mass is measurable with an accuracy of ~1 GeV with 1fb-1 of data • Mainly driven by the reached precision on JES • For light jets => JES from Mw • For b jets => JES(b)/JES(light) MC modeling at start Z+bjet, (di-jets b / di-jets light), … when enough stat • At LHC start • analyses will try to rely as low as possible on MC since not tuned • Selections should be simple, non biased D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
Top as a tool • Light jet JES • B jet JES • B tag eff • Trigger eff D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
Reconstruction and Calibration Scheme Reconstruction Jet reconstruction and calibration Detector effects : detector response should reflect the real deposited energy Jet algorithm effects: Energy deposited in calorimeter cells are grouped in clusters to form a jet Most of the energy of the jet belong to the originating parton, but some extra energy comes from other particles So in principle Eparton = JES Ejet with JES # 1 and JES= f(Ejet,jet,…) Calorimeter Cells clustering Clusters EM scale Global Approach (Default Scheme) Jet Reco Alg Uncalibrated Jets Jet Energy Calib to Particle Level Calibrated Jets Particle level In situ calibration Physics Jets Parton level D Pallin Pragua 6/04/09
